Re: Alternate reality
I was lucky enough to attend the Battle of Britain airshow at Headcorn (formerly RAF Lashenden) this September to mark the 80th anniversary of the BoB - the only airshow to be held in Europe this year apparently.
An anecdote shared by the MC - it seems that a local little old lady phoned up to complain that the Spitfires were making far too much noise and could they please stop it.
The airfield manager's reply was "Madam, if it wasn't for the Spitfires we'd be having this conversation in German (hangs up phone)".
